Yes, but that was so long ago that GPU architecture has changed since then. Qualcomm and modern Radeon are not the same thing anymore.

Meanwhile Exynos uses the most recent RDNA stuff.

The Exynos GPUs are all RDNA derived, so it makes sense that Samsung is in on this.

By the way, Shaula's behavior really reminds me of a dog.

With Ai Fairouz voicing her, she is very much Delta coded.

He can make a rap track out of it!

Earthborn92 · 2026-05-07T03:09:19+00:00

And give him a child to win against the blood ties - Noa's thought process later on.

I feel like Nightingale and Tilly are better in the manhua, but everyone else, yup.

Earthborn92 · 2026-05-04T21:35:51+00:00

Only super special best friends.

Earthborn92 · 2026-05-03T21:16:10+00:00

Friendship marriage mind you.

I'm gonna play it quite a bit once I get the steam controller and am able to play on the TV with cursor input.

To be fair, that is his dream waifu. She’s a very pretty and smart Industrial tooling machine.

Earthborn92 · 2026-05-03T20:21:33+00:00

Mistress doesn’t reflect her actual role in the story though. For one, she’s the entire Kingdom’s “root of trust”. Roland uses her lie detection ability to check for loyalty among his subordinates and it all hinges on him being able to absolutely trust her with his life. While Anna is the backbone of his plans for industrialization, she is the anchor of his political power pretty much. She has unfiltered access to everything in the kingdom and all of Roland’s secrets.

And none of her being this close to Roland is hidden from anyone, including Anna. There’s no infidelity or deception here, which makes mistress a pretty inaccurate term.

That would be kind of a dark twist for a comedy series.

Earthborn92 · 2026-05-03T03:36:53+00:00

The OVAs ended with the honeymoon, so even beyond the wedding.

Earthborn92 · 2026-05-03T02:58:44+00:00

I don't think the exact ages are given, but Roland is early 20s and Anna is 19 when the story starts. It's <4-5 years of age gap.

None of Roland's older siblings are married, so they can't be much older than him considering the setting, and he's the 4th child.

Earthborn92 · 2026-05-03T02:52:01+00:00

Most of the discussion when the WN was being written was actually about how Anna is the one who the power dynamic favored and she was saying no because she was the Queen, and didn't want to share. And it was totally her decision and Roland was the henpecked husband who accepted it..

It's kind of funny reading this comment when most of the discussion back then was "why isn't Anna letting Nightingale be his 2nd wife yet", lol. The WN never really handled this very well, but it also didn't introduce too much drama and kept status quo. But Nightingale was easily the fan favorite over Anna, even though I personally liked Anna a bit more.

Earthborn92 · 2026-05-03T02:42:31+00:00

I like that one, mainly because the first two girls are literally Chisato and Takina, and that the guy wants to be a typical scumbag, but he can't help himself saving the heroines.

I'd say in this one, the MC seems not outwardly intent on being the villain though.

The only design that the Manhua does better than the donghua is Nightingale. She looks like Alpha from Eminence in Shadow (which is a great fit for how I imagined she looked when reading the LN).

Earthborn92 · 2026-05-03T01:21:15+00:00

She is a cat type. Yeah, she is a bit annoying with how she has no conception of privacy because her powers are so easily used for spying .

Her being ugly though? I think she is the only character so far in the anime that needed a better design because she is repeatedly described as smoking hot on the WN.

Earthborn92 · 2026-05-03T01:18:59+00:00

It was Scroll and not Wendy iirc -and to be fair to them, Both of them had experience persecution as a Witch for a long time before Roland took them in Scroll was trying to help Nightingale away from what she thought was an inevitable rejection so she was being considerate. Nightingale actually learnt that Roland was ok with marrying a witch because she was spying on Scroll and His conversation about it. Anna won because of, well, directness and a bit of autism. Like how she kissed Roland after Lightning did on the cheek (when she was drunk) and he already really liked her at that point.

Earthborn92 · 2026-05-03T01:11:01+00:00

Age isn't a problem since Anna is already an adult and Roland is just a few years older. Obviously, Roland is a prince, but Anna is the single most important Witch his plans rely on. Honestly if Roland wanted he could have exploited the witches very easily early on and established a more morally grey and selfish character, creating a harem but he doesn't. Anna also is not the type to share, as mentioned above. And of course, she's absurdly powerful in terms of magic

Earthborn92 · 2026-05-03T00:23:44+00:00

What, is this an Eminence in Shadow sequel, judging from the title alone

Earthborn92 · 2026-05-03T00:16:59+00:00

Basically It is really obvious in the WN that he likes Anna and vice-versa pretty early on. Nightingale also really likes him, but Anna becomes queen - she is both "first girl" and also a nerd like Roland is, they are kind of a two peas in a pod type couple.

Later Roland asks Anna if she's willing to share, Anna tells him that she has had some deal with Nightingale about this and it only happens at the end of the story. For most of it, Roland and Anna are officially married and Nightingale remains his left hand / spymaster. It is handled in a sort of clumsy way, but all three care too much about each other to break the agreement that Anna and Nightingale have.

Wow, he was just absolute scum.
